#35 Greg, i echo your comment. kanye copies beats and lyrics and runs around with an ego like he’s the greatest. jay introduced him to chris martin and he had to come clean after putting out big brother because he knew jay and chris were friends. i have no respect for this swagger jackin diva. he’s being blown up though because niggas is tired of him stealing beats and ideas.

BUT WHAT DO THE NUMBERS SAY? HOW MANY CD’S DID JAYZ SELL? STAY ON POINT AND STOP BEING SO EMOTIONAL….JAYZ HAS BEEN SELLING UNDER OTHER RAPPERS FOR YEARS…HIS NAME CARRIES ALOT OF WEIGHT CAUSE PEOPLE WILL STAY RIDING HIS DICK FOR YEARS BECAUSE THEY LOVE HIM, BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, HE HAS FALLEN WAY OFF. AND OF COURSE KANYE AND OTHER RAPPERS PRAISE JAYZ, CAUSE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT, PEOPLE WILL ACCUSE THEM OF BEING HATERS.
BUT AFTER JAYZ FALLS SOME MORE NOTCHES, TRUST, NIGGAS COMING OUT THE WOOD WORKS YELLING HE WAS NEVER ALL THAT ANYWAY…..IT’S LIKE THE POPULAR GUY IN CLASS THAT GETS MORE PROPS THAN HE DESERVES…NO ONE WILL DARE HATE ON HIM FOR FEAR OF RETALIATION FROM THE MASSES, BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, JAYZ IS NO THREAT TO ANYONE ACCORDING TO HIS SALES NUMBERS.
KANYE HAS BEEN WRITING BEATS FOR JAYZ FOR YEARS…YOU CHECK YOUR STATS….AND I BELIEVE JAYZ DELIBERATELY KEPT KANYE BEHIND THE SCENES, ALL THE WHILE PROMISING TO BRING HIM OUT….BUT HE KNEW ONCE HE BROUGHT KANYE OUT, IT WAS GONE BE A WRAP FOR HIM CAUSE HE RECOGNIZED RAW TALENT AND HUNGER IN KANYE, THE KIND THAT HE USSSSSSSE TO HAVE…..
SORRY, JAYZ IS NOT HITTIN NO MO….IF YOU LOVE EM, GREAT, NOT KNOCKIN YOU, BUT I AINT FEELING HIM……YE IS THE NEW KING CAUSE I THINK HE GONE KEEP IT FRESH, BANGIN, AND CREATIVELY MOVING FORWARD FOR MANY YEARS TO COME…….
LIKE I SAID, GAME OVER!
This has always been my favorite song on the album!!! This video is AMAZING from start to finish. I’m a big fan of black and white photography so this video was an A+ in my book
Seeing that I am from Chicago, I feel like the video did us justice, besides the fact that I would’ve liked to see Lake Michigan. I feel like it was an wesome showcase of our city!
Dang! ‘Ye release “Champion” thats my cut!!!
Good song, nice video. I guess Common’s only purpose was to stand there in that masonic stance with the hands in the pockets and the thumb out, lol.
he does it again!!!!!
I LOVE THE VID it was great and nicely put together, very creative. the vid was like a breath a fresh air from all the thugged out booty shakin hip hop vids. good homage to a beautiful city and its a great song.
HeY JUDAH _ IT’S ALWAYS GREAT TO HEAR WHAT U HAVE TO SAY! AS FOR ME DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAV. IT’S SO HAUNTING AND TRUE TO SOME REAL ISH THAT I WENT THRU BEHIND A DIAMOND! YE
Now this is the type of video i am use to from Kanye!! I don’t know why but it seems like he looks his best in black&white…Hype Williams will always be the best!! He forever pushes the envelope. Hype and Kanye fit well together. Chris & Common look good in the video too! Overall, the video is hott!! I see you Chi-City!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! AND TO THE PERSON WHO SAID YOU CAN’T SEE THE CITY…UMM HE IS SHOWING THE CITY THROUGH HIM, I LOVE MY CITY CHI-TOWN ONE OF THE MOST BEATIFULEST SKYLINES!!
@ 65. Champion is my shit too!
JSCENE – You’re emotional – lmao!
KANYE WILL BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU THAT JAY PUSHED HIM TO GET ON – you’re so lost.
We’re not talking beats or numbers baby, you started saying he’s the best and I deflected it. KANYE AIN’T BETTER THAN JAY. 50 HAS SOLD MORE THAN JAY AND YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE THAT ARGUMENT?! Go sit down youngin’. Kanye’s doing beats, but when it comes to rap, it’s about LYRICS and Kanye ain’t got nothing on Jay and that’s why HE, YOU AND OTHERS ARE CHASING HIS LEGACY. NO MATTER WHAT NUMBERS ARE SOLD, HOW MANY MAG COVERS OR AWARDS A PERSON GETS, DOESN’T AMOUNT TO THE RESPECT OF LYRICS ON PAPER IN RAP AND THAT’S WHAT COUNTS.
IF THAT’S THE CASE, HE WOULD MAKE THE RAP LISTS ON MTV AND HE DOESN’T BECAUSE HE’S AN ARTIST NOT A RAPPER. SO AGAIN, I SAY CHECK YOUR STATS BEFORE YOU GO DISSING A LEGEND.
You’re admitting yourself that Jay has had a following for years. How can that be if you’re not the best? Make up your mind, but you can’t because you’re new to this.
You can take your head out of your ass now – lmao!
Also, tell it to the producers that are coming after him for stealing beats. He had to put Common in this because it’s a play off Com’s video “For The People”. Even on Big Brother – Kanye had to come clean and say he made the record off emotions and not facts.
This is easy…
@25….HOW CAN A SONG ABOUT THA CHI….HAV A N.O FEEL……NO SENSE….BUT THE ONE WIT JOHN LEGEND IS KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIN THIS VERSION..THIS ONE IS COOL THOUGH…IF U LIKE THIN VOICED WHITE DUDEZ(NO RACIST)………I SEEN THEM DO IT LIVE AT THE CRIB(CHICAGO) WHEN YE FIRST CAME OUT…AT THE HOB….CLASSIC SHIT……VIDEO DECENT…HE MISSED THE LAKE…WHAT THA FUC IS UP WIT THAT…YE…THATS PART OF OUR CULTURE……….THE GOOD LIFE…SUMMA TIME CHI……….LAKEFRONT….
Man this song is dope, love it. Chris Martin sounds great on it, Coldplay are a great band and probs best song on Kanye’s album IMO. Also cool vid….

Don’t diss Kanye now…that’s MY dude, but Jay’s yours…I’ve gleaned that from the other topic where I responded to this tit for tat you and the other blogger have going over Jay. I can’t say if he ghostwrites for Kanye (I doubt it though because Jay Z has confessed that he’d like to be a conscientious rapper like Common but he needs to fame/money/attention from pop culture…well, Kanye has found a way to do BOTH…he is both a conscientious rapper and pop culture icon…he’s mainstream, in short…if Jay Z could do that…I mean if he COULD ghostwrite for a man who crosses genres…don’t you think he would do it himself?)… anyway, Jay Z said in an interview that Kanye was eager and always rapped for him and he’d be like “ummmm, ok…you got another beat?” he said it was because Kanye was so different, in pink polos and they just didn’t know what to do with him…So, the other person is right when she says he held Kanye back…he’s admitted as much…
Man I miss home (currently in OKC born and raised on the SOUTH SIDE OF THE CHI). Every time a play this track I think of home. Much respect to Kanye for showing love to OUR CITY, THE CITY OF WIND. SEE HOME THIS SUMMER !!!
I love it, but I don’t htink the video was leaked. Kanye put it on his website himself.
That video is hot. I love the beat.
I’m LOVING IT!!!! I wish he would have gotten more of the city, but he is repping the SOUTH SIDE…..with them Ickes PJ’s. I see you Kanye. You know, we don’t get that many people (MAJOR) coming out of Chicago, but when we do, it feels good to see someone from our city make it and come back. Keep repping us in the Chi ‘Ye and we will be sure to love you back. Chicago MY kind of town!!!!
This video is just like “The good, The Bad, The Ugly” with Consequence but this song is definetly hot nonetheless.
I agree with 74,
The original version of this song is waayyyy better with john Legend. It had to Chicago souldfulness!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone broken Vanilla Ice’s record yet? The wackiest mc to ever touch the mic has the biggest selling single next to Thriller. Yeah, the Game’s Been Over – rotflmao.
No need to tear another asshole for weightless posts.
LONG LIVE THE KING H. to the IZZO – my bad, that’s tattood on Kanye’s arm – lmao!
HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK KANYE AND CONCRETELOOP.COM FOR DICKRIDING KANYE, LIKE THEY OWE HIM SOMETHING
ESPECIALLY ANGEL, YOU DUMB FAT BITCH, LOSE SOME WEIGHT FAT ASS
Lol 100 Comment and lol to the comment above me (JISELA). Why u be hatin like that hahahaha. The video was very creative and powerful. The part where Kanye is looking at the DuSable Museum of African-American History then shows Common, then kanye looks down really stood out for me. Its like moving snapshots of photos made into a video. I am really diggin the clothes too.
Al
Please retract my name from this post I had nothing to do with Video. Its Hype Wiiliams work and its disrepect to his put my name on here. you guys need to verfiy things like that. Dont know who your source is , the are way off track!
D.O.P.E!!
‘Ye always keeps creativity first in all he does. Love it. Its Excellent. Love C.Martins voice too, something about it is very remenicent of Sting’s.
This song came out YEARS AGO before he was popular. Go to Limewire – Artist : Kanye West / Song Title : ” HOME ” NOT Homecoming which is the new version. Same lyrics..different beat… minus the Cold Play guy. I like the original better. You be the judge.
I see Kanyes still repping Chicago, i got family and friends there so…GO CHICAGO! (lol)
He’s killin the scarf game!
I waz waitin 4 dat video!!
i been diggin dat song frm the very first time i heard it.!!
Love KanYe! ;*
To #55 the version everyone likes (including myself) is from a mixtape that dropped after College Dropout. It also had the original Hey Mama with John Legend on the hook and without all the synthesizer. The album version of both these songs sound somewhat overproduced versus the the organic sound of the mixtape cuts. If you dig around limewire you could find it. But of course the Chris Martin version is on the album, he’s trying push units, who could blame him…
